Binary package hint: tvtime

I had tvtime running fine on 9.04. I have a digi-tv box (from my internet provider) from which i send a old-school tv cable out to my tv-tuner card. On channel 109 (607.50MHz) I get the tv picture, sound goes directly from tuners line out to my stereo system. It worked flawlessy with 9.04 for a long time. Then my hd crashed and I installed new Ubuntu 10.4 and tvtime crashed during usage. I installed 10.10 and tvtime freezes computer on every run. I went back to 10.4 but it gave the same results. Then I installed xawtv, zapping and smplayer. Now when i start zapping, tune into ch 109 I can hear the sound but no picture (if I try to change output to Overlay or Capture mode it sometimes crashes). So it tunes my tvtuner to correct channel. Now I start smplayer and i get the picture. But tvtime freezes comuter every time, totally. The card is Chronos TV/FM tuner with SAA7120 or SAA7130. in /etc/modprobe.d/ I have saa7134.conf with 'options saa7134 card=3 tuner=2 gbuffers=4' to get sound going. I ran tvtime as first app after reinstall, before even sys updates, but no change. Thanks.
